This study examined the role of humility in romantic relationships. Specifically, a theoretical model was tested in which perceptions of humility are associated with self-forgiveness and partner forgiveness in romantic relationships, which are in turn associated with relationship satisfaction. A sample of emerging adult females (N = 152), who reported being in a romantic relationship completed measures of self-reported humility, self-forgiveness, partner forgiveness, and relationship satisfaction. Serial mediation analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling procedures. Perceptions of humility were not related to relationship satisfaction directly. Significant indirect effects through self-forgiveness and partner forgiveness did serially mediate the influence of humility on relationship satisfaction. Findings are discussed as well as limitations and implications for research and clinical practice.
